--- IMPORTANT PERMISSIONS & PRIVACY DISCLOSURE ---

To provide its core app-blocking features, Cactus requires specific Android system permissions. We are committed to your privacy and total transparency:

AccessibilityService API:
Cactus uses the AccessibilityService API to detect which applications are currently open in the foreground on your screen. This permission is strictly required for the app to know when you attempt to open a restricted app so it can immediately trigger your blocking rules and display the focus screen.
Privacy Assurance: We value your privacy. We do NOT read, view, or collect the content on your screen. We do NOT collect, store, or share any of your personal data. The Accessibility API is used exclusively on your local device for the sole purpose of app blocking. ## Rankings - #2,568,267 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS` - `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` - `android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC` - `android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT` - `com.android.vending.BILLING` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.brainyscreenblocker.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` ## Similar extensions and apps - [AppCage : App Blocker & Focus](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.focusx.appcage) — 9,667 users - [App Blocker: Screen Time Focus](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.duohub.mindfulness) — 2,409 users - [Screen Time Blocker: App Limit](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.yazboz.screentimeblocker) — 8 users - [App Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.genzopia.addiction) — 2,673 users - [Phone Addict: App Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.saveyourchild) — 94 users - [Limitly: App-Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.tools.limity.appblock) — 14,483 users - [Screen Time & App Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.shenguangyuan.android.screencontrol) — 313 users - [Screen Time Control - Lumi](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ss.screen.time.control.limited.app) — 2,197 users - [Focus Shield - App Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.appaspect.AppBlocker) — 87 users - [ScreenSick: Mindful AppBlock](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.prasthaan.fortify_stay_focus) — 1,443 users - [FocusGuard:App Blocker & Focus](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.appnitive.focusguard) — 13 users - [Avert: Screen Time Blocker](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.nehra.avert) — 29 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.brainyscreenblocker)
